Tension rises between Trossard and De Zerbi: the Red Devil is ruled out of training with Brighton

In the photos of training this Thursday, no trace of the former Genkois. Two hypotheses are possible: either he was absent because of a very slight calf injury. Either his coach keeps him away because of the lusts that affect his player. For the Mail, there is no doubt. “Internal sources have indicated that Trossard’s lack of involvement in training was the reason for this absence. De Zerbi is very worried about the striker’s attitude”, explains the media. Information that has not been confirmed by the club.

One thing is certain: Leandro Trossard is more than a doubt for the clash against Liverpool on Saturday. Bad news for De Zerbi: the 28-year-old Belgian scored a hat-trick against the Reds in the first leg. It was also his first game as coach of the Seagulls.

This is not the first time that the coach dismisses his player. Trossard was already absent from the Cup game against Middlesbrough and was on the bench against Everton in early January. “I want more of him”had started the Italian to explain this sidelining. “He can work harder and he can run more on the pitch. In my mind, I want players who give 100% in every training session and in every game. Without these characteristics he cannot play with me. “

Especially since without the striker, Kaoru Mitoma has shone with 3 goals in the last 5 Premier League games. Suddenly, the leaders wonder if the Louvanist is really essential to the club.

What future for Trossard?

The English media send the attacker all over the place from several transfer windows. Lately, it’s Tottenham who seem to hold the rope. Even if we are still miles away from a transfer. Especially since Brighton are hoping for a good offer for a player who has scored 7 goals and offered 3 assists in 16 Premier League games.

The other Premier League behemoths seem to have other plans. Graham Potter’s adventure in Chelsea is already turning sour. Arsenal are trying to bring in Mykhaylo Mudryk while Newcastle are reportedly aiming for a younger profile.

One thing is certain: whether on the bench or in the stands, this situation does not help Leandro Trossard.
